Battery Replacement at East Coast Automotive Services in JupiterPosted October 9, 2022 7:43 AMHello, welcome to East Coast Automotive Services. Today's focus is batteries. It seems like everything in Jupiter runs on batteries. Of course, the batteries we're most concerned with here at East Coast Automotive Services are those in our customer's vehicles. Just like the batteries in our smoke detectors or TV remote, they wear out and need to be replaced . This can be thought of as the power output used to start a cold vehicle engine. The number of cold cranking amps you need depends on your vehicle and where you live in FL, specifically how cold it is. (Many Jupiter drivers have first-hand experience trying to start their car on a cold winter morning.) The two factors are that the colder your vehicle's engine is, the more power it takes to turn the engine over to get it started. It has all that cold, sluggish oil to contend with. So if you live where it's cold in FL, you need a battery with more cold cranking amps than you do where it's moderate or hot. The battery that originally came with your vehicle was based on averages. At East Coast Automotive Services, we like to remind Jupiter drivers that they should always get at least as many cold cranking amps as their vehicle manufacturer recommends but may want to upgrade if they live where it gets real cold.
